Now young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars

Once around Venus, twice around Mars

Then they spied an island rise out of the sea

They fell back to Earth just as free as you please
The children all gathered the church bells did ring
Suddenly everyone started to sing


[Chorus:]
Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour toute le monde
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour toute le monde


Queen of the island she welcomed them in
Asked them questions of where they have been

She offered them chocolate she offered them tea
They all took their seats in the top of a tree


And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
From out of the oceans the dolphins began

Humming a tune that soon covered the land

[Chorus]


So young Princess Lia brought coral and pearls
Gifts to the travelers from some other world

The Bush doctor mixed up a magical spell
Swore them to secrecy, never to tell


So young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
The sun was rising, they'd be home by noon

Humming the words to this magical tune

[Chorus]


Song for the children
Song for the world
